IMPRovEMEN-r In GAS-Firmas LAMPS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 165,089, dated June 29,1875 application tiled May 22, 1875.

T0 all whom t may concern Be it known that I, J osErH D. GALLowAY, ofPhiladelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania,have invented a certain new and Improved Gas-Fitters Lamp, of which thefollowing is a specification:

The accompanying drawing represents a vertical central section of myimproved gastters lamp.

My invention relates to an improved lamp for gas-tters use, withblow-pipe and whitelead box attached in such a manner thata convenientand handy tool for the dili'erent work, at a saving of alcohol and timeover the old styles of lamps, is obtained.

My invention consists of a gas-iitters lamp that is provided withahollow handle, forming the blowpipe,in connection with a ilexi ble tubeswiveled thereto. The' whitelead box is screwed on the wick-tube of thelamp,

, A iiexible rubber tube, c', is attached to a swivel-joint, a, orotherwise, at the lower part of the handle to supply the current of airfrom the mouth to the stationary-handle part at any position of thelamp. The upper part of the blowpipe G extends to such a height "abovethe wick that the current-issuin g orifice bis at the proper height forthrowing the draft on the flame.

'lhe stationary position of the blow-pipe,

in connection with the ready handling of the lamp, allows the llame tobe directed to any desired point with the greatest nicety, by which theburning of paper and paint and the discoloring otne work are avoided.

The lamp and blow-pipe may be used with one hand so as to leave theother disengaged to hold and steadyV the work. The fixed position ot'the blow-pipe admits the use of a smaller wick-tube, and also asaving ofalcohol by the more perfect utilization of the same. The white-lead tubeD is screwed on the top of the wick-tube for covering with its lowercompartment the wick, and preventing ithe evaporation of alcohol.

The upper part contains the white lead, and is closed by a screw-cap. inthis manner their white-lead boxes always within reach, without beingexposed to the chance of losing or mislaying the same.

Having thus described myinvention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patentl. A gasiitters lam p, provided with statica aryblow-pipe at the side of the same, formed in the shape of a handle, inconnection with a flexible air-tube swiveled thereto. substantially asand for the ,purpose set forth.

`2,. The combination of the wicktube of the lamp with the closingwhite-lead box, serving as cappieces of the same, substantially asdescribed.
